On Thanksgiving, Tomi Lahren shared a “food for thought” tweet that included an image of Colin Kaepernick digitally inserted into a photo of D-Day. Kaepernick was kneeling to illustrate her point yet again that what he’s been doing is unpatriotic and disrespectful to the American flag.
Food for thought. pic.twitter.com/2ita0blH0O
But the Fox News contributor couldn’t have shared this at the worst time. Kaepernick, who GQ named Citizen of the Year, has since become an inspiration for NFL activism and national anthem protests. And Twitter felt strongly about her attempt of putting down Kaepernick and went in.
This is literally the worst tweet I have ever seen https://t.co/r9RDB0qlba
The day you have a thought is the day Earth crashes into the Sun. Meanwhile, a live feed of your TL. pic.twitter.com/Xv2Zs1QC2D
This is disrespectful.
I think you know by now the NFL protests have nothing whatsoever to do with the military. Why do you insist on pretending they do?
.@TomiLahren, please remind us in which branch of the military you served. Can’t seem to find any record of your distinguished career in uniform.

You disrespect the memory of those who fought and died that day by using this image to make your petty and mistaken political point.
This does not qualify as an actual thought
And your service to America has been exactly what? Whining?
As a veteran I don't feel disrespected by those who kneel to protest injustice. I do feel disrespected by Trump pissing on the Constitution.
One- those guys fought to protect our right to protest, two- kneeling is a sign of respect, three- it's kind of disrespectful to manipulate and use the images of soldiers fighting and dying just to encourage further incivility at dinner tables across the county.
It’s thanksgiving, give us a break with your hate mongering bullshit and go be with loved ones if you have anyone who stands being around you.
Tami just got roasted on Thanksgiving. Well done.
Lahren went viral last year for her “Final Thoughts” segment on The Blaze when she vehemently condemned Kaepernick for his message.
“Colin, how dare you sit there and blame white people for the problems in the minority communities? After all, aren’t you half white? Didn’t two white parents adopt you after yours weren’t willing to raise you? For a racist and horrible country filled with racist and horrible white people, that’s really something, isn’t it?”
She’s not going to stop anytime soon, but judging from this reaction, it looks people have had enough.
